Dembski, William A.  No Free Lunch: Why Specified Complexity Cannot Be Purchases without Intelligence.  Lanham/Boulder/New York/Oxford: Rowman & Littlefield, 2002.   This book encapsulates and strengthens what Dembski did in earlier books.  Chapter 5 is on irreducible complexity, building on Behe. Chapter 6 is on intelligent design as a scientific research program (rather than a destruction of science, as some opponents have claimed).  Chapter 4 on evolutionary algorithms and the use of “No Free Lunch” theorems is important, and looks impressive, but is not as decisive as nonmathematicians make think it is.  Dembski is aware that, if one grants the key naturalist-Darwinist assumption that all biological complexity is reachable by gradual steps that increase fitness, Darwinism selection would constitute an effective “evolutionary algorithm” (p. 212).   The design would then belong to the intrinsic natural laws, pushing things back to what Dembski elsewhere calls “front-loaded design” (p. 343ff).  QH 360.5 .D46 2001.

This and forthcoming works based on it may come to play a role in the arguments of 6-24-hour-day creationists.  A flaw in the physical reasoning invalidates the argument.
